The City of Colwood is inviting cyclists participating in GoByBike Week to stop by on the morning of June 3.

The city will have a booth set up on the Galloping Goose Trail at Island Highway near the Colwood Park and Ride and will be offering up breakfast and coffee from 7 to 9 a.m.

Cyclists will also be able to get their bike checked out by a volunteer mechanic, grab some City of Colwood swag, and enter to win gift cards to local bike shops.

The city will also be offering an early look at its proposed Active Transportation Network maps and plans for the Galloping Goose Bridge, which will be built at the site.

GoByBike Week runs from May 30 to June 5 and encourages Greater Victoria residents to ditch the car and travel by bike.
